They make subs that are cvr and cvx from what I have seen so far, you say cvx is better...is it just because that sole reason that it is wired better? WHats the real difference between the two?

 

CVR <CVX

the CVX is basically an L7 in a circle shape which is good cause the suspension isnt as bad on it

 

exactly. the rms and max wattages on the L7 and cvx are exactly the same. and they're made of the same substance and have the solokon.

 

the problem is, the cvx and the l7 are considerably more expensive than the cvr or the l5...... if you arent planning on any competitions, the cvr's or the L5's have an excellent sound...... If you put the right amount of air behind the cvrs, the 10's will move your hair..... if its just for personal pleasure and to get a bit show-offy (is that a word) every once in a while, buy the CVR's...... if you want to do competitions, go with the cvx or L7..... I have two of the CVR's in my blazer and they put out a hell of a lot of good quality sound.... waaaaaayyyy better than fosgates...... as for them not being good subs, there is a kicker dealer in my hometown who decked out a 95 2-door blazer with 15 inch cvrs..... and did some fine tuning, custom competition stuff.... the plaque in his shop says he hit a 160 in a competition...... so, dont underestimate them..... not even 3 weeks ago xblazer and mikeywayne convinced me to replace my fosgates with CVR's..... ive loved them ever since...lol oh... i liked the subs too....

 

all in a days work, my friend. and now serving 1 daily

 

hahaha..... but seriously.... dont waste the money on the fosgates, you can get much better for the same price.... the reason I had em was I installed two 10" punch stage II's for a guy and a 500W amp...... after a few months he decided he didnt want his brand new stuff anymore... he just wanted some quick cash so I got it all off of him for $125...lol kind of a ripoff, but hey, he was dumb enough to sell em that cheap so I bought em...lol hell of a deal for $125

 

So it looks like I will be going with some kind of kicker amp and kicker subs. I want like 400-600 rms subs with 3/4 of what they can handle going through them. Can you guys find a system that will work (ohms wise). I am still a bit scetchy on what I need to be looking for ohms wise so I dont blow and amp or sub. Maybe two kicker 500 watt rms cvr subs and a 1000 wat rms amp. Can anyone help me find the items I need that matches somthing like that?

 

Does it matter what box I go with. If I go with 2 kicker subs, does it matter what dimension size box I need to go with so it runs at the right frequencies or what ever. What do you guys mean when you say you tunned it for 32 hertz or what ever? Is that just the size area it has inside the box?

 

CVR's give em a big ported box. CVX i could see 2.2-3cuft doing well.


ported of course

 

Ok so I will be going with 2 kicker 2 ohm 12" cvx's now onto amps. A guy at CC said just buy a mono kicker amp and run the subs parallel. So if I buy an amp that is like 1250w x 1 ohm will this work with the subs I want to get or are the ohms off and I will end up blowing my subs.
